Lol and I thought I hated value

I, like my fellow Canadian, purchased one each of the KFC fake Popeye's chicken sandwiches. I think it was $16 or something completely ridiculous.

They're perfectly fine - spicy better than regular - but lol at the price for them.

They just sent me a bogo for them, because I am a VIP

Get on the train!

Going to try and get the popeyes Canadian sandwich this week to see how it compares. Won't wait more than 15 mins though so who knows if it will be this week.

I thought the same, and had it two days ago, the spicy version. It was really not good. The bread was soft and chewy and the substance mas minimal and bad. The whole meal was the worst Arby's experience I've had in years. The two young men I dealt with at the window were very polite, and the food did not reflect their demeanor.

I was so positively crestfallen I couldn't be bothered to write about it until now.

Wow! I was thinking the same thing that those Arby's cheesesteaks looked amazing, I am pretty darn surprised it was so poor. It even looks pretty delicious (just way too small) in the picture.

Thanks for doing reconnaissance!

So much of the stuff stuck to the paper and box, and then it was like some shitty soup on bread with some spicy sauce. Sad times.

This triple Buford last night got me straightened out though! Also got a mother cruncher chicken sandwich. Good stuff.

BK, you really ****ed up with your 2 for $5 including chicken fries nonsense!

I know, but I haven't had one in a long time. Nothing else appealed to me at the time, and when you gotta have one, you gotta have one.

This is true, sometimes value be damned you just gotta satisfy yourself and indulge.

Just on principle alone though, BK has really pissed me off, that's all I'm saying.

Value-be-damned should never be an option. There must always be RESISTENCE.

Like today for example: BK $20 Super Duper Deluxe Valuetown Deal

2 Whoppers
2 Double Cheeseburgers
2 Original Chicken Sandwiches(long ones)
2 10pc Nuggs
4 Small Fries
4 Small Sodas(2Diet/2FFDP)

The irony of saying thank god for BK in these FF app dark times is not lost on me.

Could you go 2/2 fries/o-rings?

I did BK $4 for 2 bacon double cheeseburgers & fries and coke the other day. I had forgot, I really enjoy a whopper when cooked right but other BK burgers have a huge drop-off IMO. I'm not sure if I'm missing the LTO that much? Mayo > Mustard? But those double bacons were just barely edible, really didn't enjoy them that much.

Over the last couple years I've really enjoyed their specialty burgers, but the cheap ones suck. Whopper is good, love their spicy chicken.

Yeah all of the above looks right. Particularly the bun, there's something wrong with the meat/bun interaction. Very astute.

When I say "other burgers" I mean their standard-size/little burger patties. King-line burgers are all good.

Got a sweet promo from ubereats for 75% off your next order up to $25. BBQ seemed like a good expensive play to use it on so I got $50 worth of Jessie Rae's for $25 and half of that was fees and tip. HELLOAGAIN was the code if anyone else wants to try it. Expires on the 20th.

Thanks emophobic... I just tried that code on UberEats and got this message:

Our systems are receiving unusually high traffic, please try again in a few minutes. Thanks for your patience.

----------------------

How does their traffic have anything to do with recognizing a promo code???

The original BK chicken sandwich and their nuggets are pure trash though, so I can’t with that meal.

I feel kind of foolish asking but I never have known what GCDS stands for, is it the kid's initials?

A fun nickname abbreviation?

2 chicken sandwiches + add tomato and swap one fry for an onion rings + zesty sauce and that's a MEAL right there!
